Sorry, i am here again with my 66 Atlas restoratiin.
Bought A NOS GPM concave head pistons of 70 th complete of pins and rings but without circlips.
So that i have bought the wires circlips for GPM pistons from Andover.
I have tried to fit these wires circlips but i have seen that the piston grooves are not senicircular but rectangulars so that the circular GPM circlips dont copyied well even if they was tight.
Removed the circular rings, i have fitted the rectangular section circlips, in stsinless steel HO-68 SS 11/16 internal, those suggested by Jim Comstock.
Please, have you never cecognized this situation before?
Thank you.
Best wishes for the 2021.

P.s.: the circular SS circlips stay well in pistons place (Also the other tried circular circlips sold from Andiver for new Hepolite) but they are tight but turn easy if i moove them with the tool.
